I started from this recipe: http://code.activestate.com/recipes/52215-get-more-information-from-tracebacks/
made it more to my liking and turned it into a module. So that instead of a program being run like this:

def program(argv):
    ...

if __name__ == '__main__':
    program(sys.argv)


I start it now like this

from pymain import main

def program(argv):
   ...

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main(program)


pymain.main will then trap almost all exceptions and produces the overview over
the local variables.
